Hello everyone,
Sometimes when I open my computer up from sleep mode I get this error. I also noticed that sometimes my laptop freezes to the point where I must force a restart and after logging back in I receive the same notification. The solutions I saw online mentioned a couple of programs that were badly written Trojans and to uninstall them, but when I went through the steps looking for them my computer did not have those particular programs to delete. My friend recommends to just wipe the computer and start all over, but I really am hoping it does not come down to that because I don't want to have to install all of my drivers again. Below is the wall of text I get from the error. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
